Governors' Role
Governors have a vital role to play in ensuring our school provides the best possible education for our children.
They are responsible for:
1. Ensure clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction
2. Hold the headteacher to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils; and the performance management of staff
3. Oversee the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent.
If you have any questions, or are interested in becoming a Governor at our school, contact either the Headteacher or Chair of Governors for more information.
